1. Malfunction of the engine oil pressure gauge
Description of the circuit / system
The engine oil pressure sensor (EOP) changes the voltage according to the engine oil pressure. The EOP sensor is a 3-wire sensor that comprises the circuit of
signal, the low reference circuit and the 5V reference circuit. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 V to the EOP sensor through the 5 V reference circuit.
And provide ground through the low reference EOP circuit. The ECM monitors the EOP sensor signal circuit to determine that the EOP sensor voltage is
within the normal operating range of approximately 1 to 4V. When the engine oil pressure is high, the EOP sensor voltage is high and the ECM detects a signal
high Voltage. When the engine oil pressure is low, the EOP sensor voltage is low and the ECM detects a low signal voltage. The ECM sends the EOP information to
through the serial data circuit to the body control module (BCM).
Conditions to execute the DTC
The engine is running.
Conditions for establishing the DTC
P0521
The ECM detects that the measured oil pressure is at least 47 kPa (6.8 psi) lower or 50 kPa (7.3 psi) higher than the expected oil pressure.
The engine oil pressure is outside a calculated working range determined by the engine speed and temperature.
One of the previous conditions is present for more than 4 seconds.
P0522
The ECM detects that the signal circuit of the EOP sensor is below 0.1V.
The previous condition is present for more than 10 seconds.
P0523
The ECM detects that the signal circuit of the EOP sensor is higher than 4.4V.
The previous condition is present for more than 10 seconds.
Action taken when the DTC is established
The ECM records the operating conditions at the moment it fails the diagnostic test. The ECM displays this information in the failure logs.
the scanning tool.
The IPC lights up the EOP indicator or the malfunction indicator lamp.
Conditions to erase the DTC
The DTC goes down in history when the conditions for establishing the DTC are no longer present.
The DTC history is erased after 40 heating cycles without failures.

DTC P0521 can be set if the engine oil pressure is outside the calculated oil pressure model stored in the control module.
engine. This may be an indication of mechanical problems in the engine that cause lower than expected engine oil pressure. Restrict the flow of oil to the
oil pressure sensor of the engine (like a blocked valve lifter oil filter (if equipped)) can also cause an oil pressure reading
lower than the actual oil pressure of the engine.

Circuit / system verification
1. With the engine running, observe the engine oil pressure sensor parameter on the scan tool. The reading should be between 41 and 448 kPa (6 and 65 psi).
2. Check the engine oil pressure, refer to the following listed below:
Diagnosis and oil pressure testing for 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, 6.2L, and 7.0L engines
for the 4.3L engine
for the 6.6L engine
Circuit/System Test
Note: The verification of the circuit/system must be carried out before continuing with the testing of the circuit/system.
1. Turned OFF, disconnect the connector of the wiring harness from the engine oil pressure sensor (EOP).
2. ON OFF, check if there is less than 10Ω between the low reference circuit terminal listed below and ground:
Low reference terminal 1 (LU3)
Reference low terminal 3 (-LU3)
If it is greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit to detect a high or open resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the
ECM.
3. Power ON, test from 4.8 to 5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal indicated below and ground:
Reference terminal 2 of 5 V (LU3)
Reference terminal 2 of 5 V (-LU3)
If it is below the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests
normal, replace the ECM.
If it is greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a voltage short. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
4. Check that the oil pressure sensor parameter of the exploration tool's engine is below 8 kPa (1.2 psi).
If it is greater than the specified range, check the signal circuit terminal listed below for a voltage short or resistance.
open / high. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
Signal Terminal 3 (LU3)
Signal terminal 1 (-LU3)
5. Install a jumper wire with a 3 A fuse between the signal circuit terminal and the 5 V reference circuit terminal indicated below. Verify
that the engine oil pressure sensor parameter of the scanning tool is above 550 kPa (80 psi).
Signal Terminal 3 (LU3)
Signal terminal 1 (-LU3)
Reference terminal 2 of 5 V (LU3)
Reference terminal 2 of 5 V (-LU3)
If it is below the specified range, check the signal circuit for a ground short or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal,
replace the ECM.
6. If all circuits pass a normal test, test or replace the EOP sensor.
